Frontier Airlines offers cheap flights, new cities

PHOENIX -- Frontier Airlines is offering $19 fares on Sept. 17 only to its three new nonstop destinations: Houston, Salt Lake City and San Francisco.

The $19 flights are available from Dec. 2 to Jan. 27.

The nonstop service to these cities will begin Nov. 20.

"We're working to reduce our costs significantly so that they're 30 to 40 percent below other airlines and as we do that, it allows us to come in to other markets and offer a different service," said Daniel Shurz, Frontier Airlines senior vice president. "We offer very low fares, we let customers choose for the options they want to pay for, and that allows us to offer something different in the airline industry."

Introductory fares of $49 to $69 will be available through Sept. 24, as well. These flight prices are available for flights from Nov. 20 to March 1.

Frontier currently offers nonstop flights to Cleveland and Denver and recently announced new service to Cincinnati and Chicago O'Hare starting later this year, bringing the total number of nonstop destinations offered from Phoenix to seven.
